The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White (Book review) | A witty and heartfelt memoir about courage, belonging, and boot camp survival.

Promotional banner for the book review of The Pink Marine by Greg Cope White on website 'wornoutspines.com.' It features A pair of rugged hands lace up bright pink combat boots against a clean white backdrop.

Greg Cope White’s The Pink Marine is one of those books that sneaks up on you, it’s sharp, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt. I started it for the laughs and stayed for the courage. White’s story of surviving Marine boot camp as a closeted gay man in the 1990s isn’t just about endurance, it’s about identity, brotherhood, and learning what it truly means to belong.
